I collected seeds from the 10' cosmos plant last year.... the plant was received in a swap ... so I do not have a name for it

JoAnn and I are both attempting to grow the seeds this year... to see what the outcome is

follow along with our journey

the best shot I could get of the flowers last year

and I have a video of them (not so great quality) when it started snowing here Oct 15th last year.. excuse the Halloween decorations

I WS'ed mine in drink cups in a tub... and here is how it looks so far... I also tossed a bunch of seed around the garden last year.. so I might get more

already I see an over achiever

That's really cool, Allison.

JoAnn and I figured this might be fun to watch progress and see if we get another big one

I think it will be fun to see how tall each of ours gets. My seeds were direct sowed a few weeks ago.This is the first pic.

And I'm hoeing out volunteer cosmos seedlings daily.

I will definatly be in trouble with DD.Her vedg garden is next to these 10 footers. I'll have to hire a tree and landscape guy to deadhead.That should get me off the hotseat.
